Since the debate either pre-empted Tuesday night programming or prompted the networks to air repeats (other than the CW, and I'm taking a break from "90210"), it's open question time: what one pop culture quote do you find yourself using most in everyday conversation?

For me, it's the one in the subject line, from "The Simpsons" episode "A Star Is Burns," in which Springfield hosts a film festival and Homer and Marge wind up ont eh judges' panel with Jay Sherman from "The Critic." Despite it being the one episode Matt Groening refuses to watch (because he feels Fox forced them to include Jay Sherman as a promotional gimmick), it actually has a whole bunch of lines I use all the time ("I was saying 'Boo-urns,'" "On closer inspection, these are loafers," and, especially, "It's not that tough being a film cricket.") But the one about "Football in the Groin" (and Homer can't even get the title right; Hans Moleman's opus is actually called "Man Getting Hit By Football") says so much about lowest common denominator entertainment that it practically comes up daily for me.

"I'm not dead yet" and "He's only mostly dead" come up surprisingly often, usually when mocking lame tv or movie plot twists (think House at the 40 minute mark).

There was a Simpson's episode where Homer was envious of the dog's food and Marge pointed out the it was just snouts and things, and Homer said "mmmmm, snouts". So now tasty snacks are referred to in our home as snouts.

Another Simpson's episode (and these are going way back because we haven't actually watched the Simpsons for ages) Homer won a giant sandwich, like a 10 foot long sub, and he kept it around and kept eating it well past its prime, to the point where it was making him sick and hallucinate but he kept eating it. My husband is inclined to think leftovers will last forever, so now things in our fridge are "Homer's." "Is this Homer's salsa? Better throw it out."

"Luke, I am your father" mutates to include the kids' names and sometimes mother. Lots of references to the dark side of the force, especially regarding the children's behavior

British TV is king of the catchphrases. Pretty much every comedy and sketch show series produced here involves catchphrases, dating back to Monty Python and probably beyond. Check out Little Britain USA on HBO every Sunday for one every 10 seconds. Any Fast Show fans here, or is Johnny Depp the only North American fan of that sketch series? You'd OD on catchphrases watching that!

"Oh Lisa, it's not that I don't understand, it's just that I don't care." Has to be said in a condescending voice. From the episode in which Lisa has a crush on her teacher.

"Thank you in advance for your service to our organization." Works well anytime I ask my son to do his chores. From the episode in which Bart takes ADD medication.

"Your theories are intriguing and I'd like to subscribe to your newsletter." Not sure on the episode. We use that anytime someone has a lame idea.

Also, from 30 Rock, "Blerg!" and "mind grapes" come up quite a bit around here. And how can you resist "That's what she said?" There are just too many opportunities, and it's pure lameness is what makes it funny.

I find myself replicating a lot of Tom Scharpling's mannerisms from The Best Show on WFMU, "What are you, bragging?" in particular.

I also steal from Newsradio a lot:"Sarcasm - the last refuge of sons of bitches.""You're a Scorpio - I've grown accustomed to your sting.""You're from (friend's podunk hometown). Artificial light is fascinating to you."

Plenty of Bender lines make it into my life. In part because I have the same attitude as him. Some of them include:"Lies!! Lies and Slander!""Who are you, and why should I care?""When I grow up, I wanna be a steam shovel!" (I normally insert something inappropriate instead of steam shovel)."Goodbye loosers whom I've always hated.""JE SUIS NAPOLEON!"I'll stop there on that one. :P

When I used to work retail: "If for any reason you're not satisfied with our service, I hate you." - Futurama (Oh yes, I got to work in one of those shops where you can be rude to the customers)

"That's a shame" - Seinfeld

"Steve Holt!", "Mr. F" & "I've made a huge mistake" - Arrested DevelopmentSeveral of us also make the W for Tony Wonder when saying Wonder.

"Skip to the end" - Spaced

"That's what she said" - The Office (The ongoing game here is to use it as inappropriately as possible)

"___ Suit Up!" - HIMYM

"Did you get that thing I sent ya?" - Peter Potamus in Harvey Birdman: AaL

"I have a cunning plan" - Black Adder

These are just the ones I'm aware of so... Yeah, I pop culture reference a lot. I guess I don't have any original words of my own.

"This is not Nam, this is bowling. There are rules" (The Big Lebowski)

My husband and I go back and forth with "committees" for this and that - like with Dwight asking Jim if he could join the committee to oversee party planning, Jim tells him "permission denied". That's always fun.

"Inconceivable" - Princess Bride (also, "I do not think it means what you think it means").

"I don't think that means what you think that means" from Princess Bride

"So this is it. We're going to die." from the original Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. This is usually followed by my friends and I playing out rest of the scene, right up to... "...I really wish I'd listened to what my mother told me when I was a boy""Why? What did she tell you?" "I don't know. I didn't listen."

I've begun substituting quotes from tv and film into my language so much that I've come to realize I have essential no conversational skills left. And that speaking to someone without a similar pop cultural literacy can become awkward.

"I've made a huge mistake," "Her?" and "Blergh!" are probably the most common.

All of my home computers are named using Simpsons or Arrested Development references (Stair Car, Evergreen Terrace, Little Dude, Banana Stand, Steve Holt!)

"The Chinaman is not the issue" (The Big Lebowski-- in regards to anything irrelevant)

"It's not a tumor" (I don't remember even watching Kindergarten Cop at this point, but use the famous line in a bad Schwarzenegger imitation in regards to anything involving health issues.)

I keep looking for an opportunity to quote Homer's speech to Bart about losing the dog:Your tears aren't going to bring him back, unless they smell like dog food. So you can sit here eating can after can of dog food until your tears smell enough like dog food to bring him back, or you can go out there and find your dog!

The one I probably use most often is from (of course) The Simpsons, but it's more about Castaneletta's delivery than anything else. In the Itchy and Scratchy Movie ep, when we flash forward to Homer finally taking Justice of the Supreme Court Bart to see the I&S movie, Homer asks for an explaation of which one is Itchy and which is Scratchy. When Bart explains that Itchy is the mouse, Homer mutters, in a wonderfully tired and bitter understated tone, "Itchy's a jerk." I use that all the time, whenever anyone complains about teh malfeasance of another. ("Mom forgot my birthday!" "Mom's a jerk.")

Also use "That's good!" from the Halloween episode with the frogurt, a lot. And "Explain how!" from the $20 can buy many peanuts gag, used to fein interest in the obvious.

Any time anyone in my family says, "To make a long story short..." someone will cut in with "Too late." (Clue)

Reminisces and "Back in my day..." speeches are always met with, "I remember when this was all farmland as far the eye could see. Old man Peabody owned all of this. He had this crazy idea about breeding pine trees." (Back to the Future)

Whenever my brother and I get in a mock arguement one of us will pull out "You f***ing hit me with the phone, d*ck!" (Scream)

"You're not wrong, [Name], you're just an a**hole";-"Shut up, Donny, you're out of your element!," and of course:-"That [object] really tied the room together".

I also use the "I am shocked, shocked" construction all the time.

And from Buffy, when a friend says something ridiculous: "Your logic does not resemble our Earth logic"; or, as a threat, said deadpan, "if you [behavior], I'll kill you with a shovel." In fact, I suspect I use Whedonisms all the time without even realizing I'm doing it.

Finally, from Arrested Development, I second "I've made a huge mistake," as well as "Marry me," "NO TOUCHING!" and "I've got the worst f***ing attorneys".

Like everyone else here, I do this way too much.Animal House: You f#cked up, you trusted us.Fletch: It's all ball bearings nowadays. (My senior yearbook quote)Midnight Run: Are you doing the litmus configuration?Seinfeld: That's a shame. And Jerry to Gerorge when he bought the huge Russian hat, "Why didn't you get the big one."Simpsons: I was saying Boo-urns. Arrested Development: Her?

The ONLY good thing about being fired from a job a few years back was that, when my faux-sympathetic boss said "If there's ever ANYthing I can do...," I finally got to say, "Well, I certainly hope you'll die soon."

Also, "Wouldn't this be a great world if insecurity and desperation made us more attractive?," and many others.

"I always have a quotation for everything, it saves original thinking." - Lord Peter Wimsey

Obviously, I adore the episode referenced in the post, and use "Boo-urns" A LOT. But it does not contain my favourite Simpson's "review" of all time: "That was a well-plotted piece of non-claptrap that never made me want to retch."

"Sometimes I think you WANT to fail!""Shut up, just shut up!"- Simpsons, Two Guys from Kabul, in the episode where Bart gets a crush on new neighbour Laura.

"I can't believe you don't shut up."-Simpsons, Apu to Homer

"Life in a box is better than no life at all."-Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead

"Try to be more careful.""Sorry."-R&G Are Dead. The funny is all in how it's said.

"Bad form!" from Hook, or in the same cases and even better, from The Addams Family movie: "Dirty pool, old man. Never again!"

I can recite Clue, The Princess Bride and Big Trouble in Little China, so anyone who knows me has seen them multiple times whether they know it or not. My favorite is when attempting to figure something out, from Clue: "Maybe Mr. Boddy killed the cook!"

From Clueless, after pre-eating disorder Brittany Murphy calls Cher "a virgin who can't drive," Cher's response of "That was way harsh, Tai" is perfect for anytime someone says something mean. Also, in response to being introduced to anyone, "Get out of my chair"

I'm going to take this opportunity to ask a question I've been meaning to ask you for a long time.

I am dating a girl who looked through my DVR recently and was mortified that I save "King of Queens" episodes for rainy days. I never watched the show when it was airing new episodes and always thought it looked really horrible but I've slowly come to love it. I defended myself saying that even though its not a particularly innovative show it makes me laugh out loud almost every time I watch it, which is all I expect from a syndicated sitcom. She still thinks I'm insane.

Who is right? Should I be embarrassed? What was your opinion of the show when it was airing new episodes? Maybe you can write her a letter defending me? My credibility depends on this.

Last night's 90210 was actually the best episode they've done. Which is ironic since it was the first one without any of the original cast. I'm starting to wonder if having them around actually hurt the show more than it helped. Because last night was the first time any of the new people were interesting or seemed worth caring about.

Oh man, Dazed & Confused. "You can't give a build-up like that and then not... deliver!"

Also: "I feel like complete shit, Ferris" whenever I'm feeling sick; Fezzik's "Everybody MOVE!" when I'm in a huge crowd of slow-moving people, and Toby's "There is literally no one in the world that I don't hate right now," which I use pretty much ever day.

How could I forget that for anything economics or money related, some riff on Homer's dialogue with his brain can be incorporated: "$20, but I wanted a peanut. $20 can buy many peanuts. Explain how? money can be exchanged for goods and services. Woo-hoo!"

Just about anything from Patrick Swayze in Roadhouse. "Pain don't hurt" is a big one. And Sam Elliot's "Nothing I ain't used to, but it is amazing what you can get used to..."

Back when I lived in Wisconsin, every winter we would bust out "Do you have any idea what the street value of this mountain is?" from Better Off Dead

"I'm Lloyd Dobbler" is also a perfect response to any question that shouldn't really require an answer.

"Well played, Garkle." and "My mind has come alive like toys when your back is turned!" from 30 Rock.

"That's a shame..." said with no real emotion, from Seinfeld.

"When someone asks you if you are a god, you say YES." - Ghostbusters

My friends and I have declared that there is a Simpsons quote game going on at all times, and everyone on earth is playing. You give points to others based upon their references, accuracy, and how smoothly they work it in to the situation. some of the most popular: "Oh god, I've wasted my life." "Me flunk english? That's un-possible." "Ralphie, what is your fascination with my forbidden closet of mystery?"

But my brother and I like to call each other "wicked retahded" in a faux Boston accent...which might come from Good Will Hunting, or a play on Finding Nemo from when the crabs talk about how "wicked dahk" it was at ocean floor...I can't remember.

More movies than TV but "Have fun storming the castle" (Princess Bride) and "And don't call me Shirley" (Airplane) have at least weekly relevance for me.

This isn't quite pop culture from my lifetime (although I did love the Burns & Allen reruns when I saw them in the 70s): but "Say goodnight Gracie." "Goodnight, Gracie" is still a charmer at the end of the night.

I like to find a way to use, "Lisa, I'd like to buy your rock" from my favorite Simpsons exchanges:

Homer: Well, there's not a bear in sight. The Bear Patrol is sure doing its job.Lisa: That's specious reasoning, Dad.Homer: Thank you, sweetie.Lisa: Dad, what if I were to tell you that this rock keeps away tigers.Homer: Uh-huh, and how does it work?Lisa: It doesn't work. It's just a stupid rock.Homer: I see.Lisa: But you don't see any tigers around, do you?Homer: Lisa, I'd like to buy your rock.

Broadcast News boss: It must by nice to know that you’re always the smartest person in the room—that you’re always right and everyone else is always wrong.

Holly Hunter (plaintively): No, it’s hell.

Jimmy: Dave, I didn't think motivation was important, either, 'till I got involved with some motivational seminars and it really changed my life.

Dave: Really? That surprises me. I didn't think you were the sort of person that would attend one of those.

Jimmy: No, I don't. I put them together. Pack a few hundred suckers into a motel ballroom, hire an out-of-work actor to paraphrase the opening scene from "Patton", charge 'em five-hundred bucks a pop and boom, bob's your uncle.

Kids in the Hall when Kevin McDonald played the ultra-insensitive guy who got his sucker friend (Dave Foley) to bust him out of prison with a saw inside a cake. Foley gets busted and as he’s being thrown into jail, he sees the guards release McDonald.

Foley (angrily sputtering): If you were getting out today why would have me try to bust you out?!

McDonald: I had an appointment this morning. But don’t worry. I can reschedule.

"Bitchcakes""Not to mention, Kermit the Dang Frog!""But Jimmy has fear? A thousand times no!""This one pleases me. I keep.""I try to be good hard worker, but refridgamator so messy. So, so messy.""This has been the worst cracker time in recorded history""You looooooooooooooooooooooooooooove him""It's pronounce Evil-Lynn.""Kazizzah, my Diznoofus." related: "Miznerotic"

WAY too many, and some people have already said a few of mine, like from 30 Rock or Pulp Fiction. Here's a few I didn't see:

Seinfeld:- You're using my 'babies' now?-Giddyup!-No soup for you! Come back ONE year!And I write on all my friend's birthday cards: "Well, birthdays are merely symbolic of how another year has gone by and how little we've grown. No matter how desperate we are that someday a better self will emerge, with each flicker of the candles on the cake, we know it's notto be. That for the rest of our sad, wretched pathetic lives, this is who we are to the bitter end. Inevitably, irrevocably; happy birthday? No such thing."

Three Amigos: -Can I have your watch when you are dead? (Me and my friends always use this when we're having a bad time of something)-Sew! Sew like the wind! (I use this when someone is doing anything, even sewing)-Yeah, it's like beer.

Old school: -Earmuffs (I have kids)-When it hits your lips, it's SO good (ALWAYS a favorite at bars and parties-I see Blue. He's GLORIOUS!-Well, I need you more tonight, I f--kin' need you more than ever!

I just remembered another one! Most of my jobs (including my current one) have been service oriented and when it all gets to be too much, I will bust out a little Michele from Gilmore Girls: "People are particularly stupid today. I can't talk to any more of them."

We call Thai food "Thai menu," after "Lisa the Treehugger." We also talk about the jockocracy from the same episode because we live in a state school town: "Now restaurant fail. Children go to state college. Seriousstudents powerless against drunken jockocracy. Baseball hats everywhere."

Yeah, this has been perhaps the best post here ever, and this is coming from a "Wire" and "Mad Men" obsessive. I'm seeing so many that I say all the time but didn't even think of when I responded earlier. Two more quick ones:

Most of my favorite & oft-used TV quotes are from The Simpsons, but a particular favorite is "Godspeed little doodle," from the Boy Scouts episode with Ernest Borgnine. A little cheese doodle all on it's own on a big, big river doesn't stand a chance.

I was fairly desperate (esp since i didn't manage to get Chuck) and decided to watch 90210.

It was actually okay.A plotline (or maybe even 2) started, which seems likely to continue (except for the fact that they are rerunning the pilot next week - is that stupid timing or some more politics related balderdash?)

Naomi, Adrianna, and the new girl (newer than Annie) were interesting.

Whatever happened, probably has happened on tons of teen shows before, but I don't remember it happening on Buffy, Veronica Mars, Boston Public, or Joan of Arcadia, so... I'm interested to see how it turns out (and here's Les's chance to cancel it!)

Also, principal and Naomi's mom are chatting about "the son" again. (were either of these people in the original series? *as* these people?)

the ending was good. and cliff-hangy. you might have wanted to wait one more week to give up.or, you might find these developments completely predictable - having seen way too much TV. (I never watched DeGrassi or Dawson's Creek or Gossip Girl or Gilmore Girls or (was there anything else I missed in the High School genre?) so I don't know.

Off to Private Practice Phone Tag. The opening is reminding me of Brothers & Sisters produced by someone who just got transitions on their video editor, and likes one in particular, a whole lot. But that's okay.

My husband and I live to quote. I'm amazed how entrenched it is and, of course, secretly love it! We quote movies, TV, songs...you name it, we'll quote it.

So many people have mentioned so many we do like: Blergh!; "That's what she said."; "Earmuffs."; "brain cloud"; everything mentioned so far from Arrested Development and The Big Lebowski; bless the person who referenced Piscopo's infamous line in "Johnny Dangerously." :)

Blues Brothers: "How much for the women?" *and* anything and everything from Caddyshack.

I quote constantly from Weird Science; The Breakfast Club; Ferris Bueller; Sixteen Candles. My husband and I quote nearly daily from Seinfeld, Friends. Others quoted: The Office; 30 Rock; Arrested Development; South Park; Wedding Crashers; Office Space; Napolean Dynamite; Old School; The Forty-Year Old Virgin; Pulp Fiction; and all of Sasha Baron Cohen's lines as King of the Lemurs in Madagascar.

To pick special quotes from all is a special torture as most of you understand, but here's a "few":

Sixteen Candles: "The girl with the hat...is so...vogue."

"Life is not whatnot and it's none of your business."

"Lake...big lake."

"Sofa City, Sweetheart." (esp. when a nap will be taken)

"I wanna be at home with you guys."

"Mr. T!"

Weird Science: "Who is this Gary character?"

Friends: "What was I thinking? Jeans have no give!" (Joey at Thanksgiving")

"Uh, uh...FINE BY ME!" (Ross to Rachel))

"Monica, I'm scared!" (Phoebe trying to take off a sweater while stuck on the phone))

"Ms. Chanandler Bong"

"You have to stop the Q-tip when there's resistance." (Chandler)

"...my hand is messed up!" (Chandler after playing too much Ms. Pac-Man)

"The line is a *dot* to you!" (Joey to Chandler)

"Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" (Monica)

"But it's lah-mi-nated" (Isabella Rosellini to Ross)

"...and I have to live with a boy!" (Monica crying to Rachel who's moving out...often said to hubby by me!) :)

"My eyes! My eyes!" (Phoebe seeing Monica and Chandler *together*)

"I said 'share', *not* 'scare!" (Ross to Chandler)

"I'm really good at Cups."

Both "You are a robot!" and "You're dead inside." (Monica to Chandler)

Seinfeld: "Sweet Fancy Moses." (Jerry)

"That's 'bad' naked."

"Yada, yada, yada...I mentioned the bisque." (Elaine, coy smile)

"I don't know how you guys walk around with those things." (Elaine)

"The sea was angry that day, my friends. Like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli." (George)

"And they're the ones who are writing it off." (Kramer)

"A Festivus for the rest-of-us!" (Frank)

"All signs point to yes." (Puddy)

"Talk to me babe." (Puddy)

Elaine vs. Puddy

E: "David, I'm going to hell! The worse place in the world! With devils and those caves and the ragged clothing. And the heat! My God, the heat! I mean, what do you think of all that?"P: "Gonna be rough."E: "Uh, you should be trying to save me!"P: "Don't boss me! This is why you're going to hell."E: "I'm not going to hell, and if you think I'm going to hell, you should care that I'm going to hell even though I am not."P: "You stole my Jesus fish, didn't you?"E (places hands beside her head with index fingers raised as 'horns' and emits a hilarious gutteral growling sound: "Yeah, that's right!"

Arrested Development: "No touching." (esp. when said on Father/Daughter at Work day.)

One of our favorite quotes to say to one another when in testy or silly moods (hubby and I) is from Albert Brook's "Mother" (run, don't walk--a must see). He's on the phone with his mom and she ends with "I love you." Then he says, "I know you think you do."

Stuff my Dad and I often quote:

Simpsons: "Mmmmm....floor pie."

The Goonies: "Hey, Mikey...gimme a big wet slickery kiss!"

Better Off Dead: "I want my two dollars!" (I also like to grab my husband's cheeks and say, "Christ-mas...Christmas!")

Used Cars: Fifty bucks never killed anybody!"

History of the World Part I: "It's good to be the King."

Too many more and it's too late at night...Alan, you are a temptor of the highest order. We all love ya for it!

"I've got a proposition for ya." - Prop Joe, The Wire"What the **** did I do?" - McNulty, The Wire"Happy now, *****?" - Bunk, The Wire

"Don't turn me into a horned toad for asking, but..." - Spike, BtVS"I laugh in the face of danger! Then I hide until it goes away." - Zander, BtVS"MY (object) IS BROKEN!! THIS IS BULL****!!" - Colin Guinn, Amazing Race"...150 up to 200 percent." - Survivor

- D'oh!- Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!- So I got that going for me, which is nice.- Let's go, while we're young!- That's what she said.- It's not a tumor!- These aren't the droids you're looking for.- Otis! My man!- I hate when that happens.- I am serious. And don't call me Shirley.

This is the kind of thing where there are many that I use on a regular basis (dozens from the Simpsons alone), but I'll only remember them when they actually come up. But here's a few that I can think of-

"Then what would happen to man's search for knowledge?" Cyrano Jones on why he didn't offer full disclosure on the dangers of owning tribbles. I often use it when my students want me to give them answers they should be investigating up themselves.

"We make great pasta. It balances out." Lt Al Giardello in response to the unforgiving nature of some Italians.

"Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb." From the Batman (Adam West) movie.

Daryl Zero on the topic of looking for things:"When you go looking for something specific, your chances of finding it are very bad. Because of all the things in the world, you're only looking for one of them. When you go looking for anything at all, your chances of finding it are very good. Because of all the things in the world, you're sure to find some of them."I rarely get the chance to break out the full quote, so more just a philosophy of life.

An early American Idol reject is often quoted in our house. They had been reminded to show their artistry and personalities during the audition - Rose took this to mean in lieu of actual musicianship. So after being rejected for an excruciatingly tuneless audition, she defended herself by explaining "I wasn't *trying* to sing "the notes".

And did anyone else see Goodman's blog post from yesterday, entitled "Bring Out Your Dead"

I had roomies who loved Monty Python - they could of course quote entire sketches.

my brother also has some quote from Broadcast News, i think, and of course"I'm Andrew Shepherd, and I *am* the President"

Aaron's highly quotable.

I also like "Quarter cup of Brandy and let it simmer" from the immortal Buffy ep, Pangs (by Jane Espenson, I believe, though many Buffy writers have had to disavow their great lines as they were polishes by Joss) where Buffy saves the world while making Thanksgiving Dinner.Of course that probably does not compare to the awesome West Wing Thanksgiving epsiode, Shibboleth.

- You can't handle the truth!- Sometimes you just gotta say, "what the f***"- I love the smell of napalm in the morning.- Badges? We don't need no steenkin badges! Hahahah! (the Blazing Saddles version, used mostly at work)- Yippi-kay-yay, motherf***er- And there was much rejoicing. (Yay.)- Hasta la vista, bay-bee.- I'll be bock.

I've read all the comments and can't believe no one has quoted from The Odd Couple. I use all of these lines, and many more, quite often. There has never been a show like it. MASH and All in the Family had great quotable one-liners, too.

I like ketchup. It's like tomato wine

When you assume, you make an Ass of U and Me

FELIX: What are you doing? OSCAR: Sterilizing the wound. FELIX: With beer? OSCAR: It's got alcohol in it.
